Did Ralphs or other stores stop doubling coupons?

I just noticed it on my receipts from the past two weekends.

Re: Did Ralphs or other stores stop doubling coupons?

  • i think ralph's is the only store left that automatically doubles them.  vons stopped some time last year and i know albertson's doesn't double anymore, either.  and ralph's is riggoddangdiculously expensive, IMO.

    bastards.

  • Ralphs, expensive?  They are always so much cheaper for things than Pavillions!  And Albertsons!

    I don't think Ralphs is doubling anymore then.  What a bummer.  I loved using the Jennie-O $1 coupons when ground turkey went on sale.  They'd be free!  So I'd get like 8 packages.  (coupons are from the wall at 24 hour fitness).

  • maybe it's a regional thing, then, because my ralph's is really pricey. ?even after double coupons, it's still way higher than albertson's and fresh & easy - which are my go-to places for groceries.

    too bad f'in sleazy doesn't take coupons at all, except for their own.?

  • My Ralph's is crazy expensive, too. ?Albertsons is cheapest by far, and Vons, when they have sales.

  • D, I believe the Jenny-O coupons are marked as "do not double" and more systems are catching those coupons because they're finally being coded properly.

    As far as I'm aware, Ralphs is still doubling coupons (although I don't shop there anymore, it's out of the way and my location is always out of everything) & Vons/Pavillions is different at every store (my local Pavillions doubles up to 50c, my two local Vons stores do not). Albertsons hasn't doubled coupons in years.

  • Nope. Both Ralph's and Vons will only double up to a $1.00 total discount. Which means if it's a $1.00 coupon you get nothing. If it's a $0.75 coupon it will add $0.25. I am so over the coupon thing with this right now.
  • Interesting.  Well, Pavs and Ralphs are the closest ones to me.  Ralphs is about 2 blocks farther, but it's next door to Big Lots (where I go first!) so that's why it's my go-to.
  • Ralph's is my fave place! I save so much money shopping there. Yes, pp's are correct that they only double up to 1.00.

    No, I can't eat things the Paula Deen way.....a stick a butta.

  • The last time I was at a Vons or a Pavillions they had stopped doubling.  All the Albertson's I have been to have never doubled, nor has Stater Bros. 

    I checked prices before and Ralphs is more expensive than the others but they usually have better weekly deals. 

  • Vons/Pavillions has been running some great in-store coupons/specials for the last few weeks which is why I've been splitting my shopping between them, Albertsons, and TJs. Last week I got $40 worth of groceries for $13 at Pavillions.

  • I hate that Ralphs got rid of real double coupons and I stopped shopping there but they recently sent me 4 $10 off when you buy $25 and a bunch of free item coupons. Last Friday I bought $48 worth of groceries for $23 bucks and yesterday I got $32 worth of groceries for $18 (after other coupons too). I was pretty pleased with my bargain shopping Big Smile
